Figure 3

Total blood loss. Values are expressed as mean (± standard deviation) total blood loss before, during, and after administration of a 0.4 U/kg bolus dose and 0.08 U/kg per min continuous infusion of vasopressin (n = 7), fluid resuscitation (divided into survivors [n = 1] and nonsurvivors [n = 6]), and saline placebo (n = 5). 'Uncontrolled haemorrhage' indicates the non-intervention interval after vessel injury; 'experimental therapy' indicates vasopressin treatment, fluid resuscitation, or saline placebo administration without bleeding control; and 'surgical intervention' indicates surgical management of the mesenteric shaft to control bleeding. The x-axis does not reveal the true time slope. BL, baseline; DA, drug administration.
